Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Reprint. Hardback. Foreword by Cardinal Basil Hume, O.S.B. This book is 'one of the great classic works on Christian sainthood', as Cardinal Basil Hume has described it. Originally published in the mid-eighteenth century, it has twice been revised in this century, up-dated and expanded. But it has only been published hitherto in its four-volume form which runs to over 2500 entries and nearly 3000 pages. The basic form of the original is retained - with the saints listed chronologically month by month on their feast days which is usually the date of their death, or their 'birthday' into Heaven. For each day of the year one saint is given. This makes the book ideally suitable for devotional reading as well as for historical background on all periods of Church history. 466 pp.
